Padma Lakshmi Shushes to Keep Top Chef Top Secret

Reports flow over the tipline that Top Chef hostess Padma Lakshmi has a patented (but borrowed) move for keeping shooting Top Chef Seattle on the downlow--Padma has been spotted shushing people. And over the weekend, Seattle Times sports reporter Danny O'Neil had a similar experience at the hotel Olive 8, where there have been numerous Top Chef judge sightings. Writes O'Neil, "Just got shushed by ?#TopChef?'s Padma when I blew her cover." Oh, Padma, when will all the shushing end? [@dannyoneil]
